Prosafe Quad Wan Ssl Vpn Fw Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this SRX5308 to replace an old FVX538 v1 router, and after a couple months I can say that I am pleased with the stability of this device. The SRX5308 can handle loads more simultaneous connections (200K+), and that connection limitation was causing hanging on the FVX538 as the device is used as a firewall & NAT router for a dozen servers in a datacenter. The SRX5308 has not needed a reboot once in 2 months, which says much since I have gone through 2 Linksys (RV042, RV082) and one other Netgear (FVX538) router previously as those were hanging every other day or more often.
The web-based management interface works well and I am mainly using the firewall services and NAT functionality, so I can't comment on the VPN or load balancing functionality.
I would just give 4 stars, but when I contacted Netgear for support (apparently there is 90 days free support) they were very responsive and promised a fix for my needs (more WAN secondary IPs supported) in the next firmware update. The hardware has lifetime warranty, and I have no doubt Netgear will honor this as they have promptly replaced other units that I have sent in.

ASUS Black Diamond Dual Band Processor, Hardware NAT, 5 Internal Antennas, Fast Gigabit Ethernet and 128MB DDR2 Wireless Router (RT-N56U) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently purchased two other routers before purchasing this one to replace an older 2.4ghz router. The first router I purchased was the newly released Cisco Linksys E4200. I ended up returning it because I barely had a signal downstairs and slow output. My previous router usually had around 70%-80% signal downstairs however the E4200 would quickly lose signal the farther I moved away from the router. I purchased as a replacement the highly rated Netgear WNDR3700. This router had much better signal however it would not work with my external hard drive. Per review of online comments and Netgear's own website, the 3700 has issues being compatible with numerous external hard drives. Netgear has posted on their website about a dozen compatible hard drives that work with the 3700. I had the choice to either keep the 3700 and fork out another $50-$100 on a new external hard drive that would work or purchase another router with similar features. I ran across the Asus at my local electronic store. I never heard of this model before since it is a new release. Before I decided to purchase it, I went home and read the limited reviews I could find on it. Both expert and consumer reviews were positive. I ended up purchasing the Asus. I was completely blown away by the features and performance of this router. I have over 90% signal downstairs. My laptop is maintaining 230-270mbps connection when I am downstairs (about 30 feet away from router which is upstairs) which was impossible with both the E4200 and 3700. The user interface provides significant amount more custom options than both the Netgear and Cisco. My external HDD (Seagate) was instantly recognized by the router. I also found the wired connection runs smoother and faster than the 3700. The 3700 had a delay at times loading pages. Overall this is in my opinion the best performing router that I have ever owned. Currently the WNDR3700 is considered the best but it has been out for a while now. The Cisco E4200 claims to be the best however I disagree with this due to real hands-on experience with it. There is a good amount of owner complaints already being posted about the E4200 which is similar to issues that I also encountered. The only bad thing I found with this unit is that it does not allow wall mount option. For the price, performance and features, this is an excellent value and steal.
